If i would meet up with a few of you, could you suggest a
Motel?? just wondering??

Keith,

There are several hotels nearby Marc's place. Some right by 355 and North Avenue down the street from Haibeck. 355 South will take you to 55 and headed back to St. Louis. See you in a few weeks.

Is there a particular watering hole or restaurant that is nearby?
i don't drive the zr1 after partaking in spirits.

The Boyz can certainly do a better job recommending watering holes but when I dropped my car off and when I picked it up I stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in Elmhurst. The address and phone number is:

370 N IL Route 83
Elmhurst, Illinois 60126 USA
Phone: 1-630-941-9444

It's less than 5 miles away from Marcs and very easy to navigate. You can also get breakfast and dinner at the hotel. I don't know what Marc did for you but my guess is you'll likely enjoy the ride home.

Good Luck,
Scott

Um...just a question, is the weather/road's going to be decent for you by then Keith?

The ones on Lake Street are near the Home Run Pizza Inn where we have some of our Friday Night pizza get togethers.

Ryan, my poor frozen tundra brotha.

it ain't snowing everywhere bro.

it was in the 50's here today, we expect 60's this weekend,
it goes back n forth.
hang in there and don't eat the yellow snow.

I have a friend in Chicago & he was telling me it wasn't very good not that long ago. if it's turned the corner, awesome. how long of a drive is it for you to get home, Keith?

Ryan, the weather changes in chicago, daily.
normally it is a 5 hour drive for me.

I was driving, just a tad over 70 on the way up and everyone was passing
me like i was in the commute lane, i upped the speed a little
and made it in 4:15

nice drive, all interstate, lots of corn fields.
